"Blue" laccases

Biochemistry (Mosc). 2007 Oct;72(10):1136-50. doi: 10.1134/s0006297907100112.

Abstract

This review concerns copper-containing oxidases--laccases. Principal biochemical and electrochemical properties of laccases isolated from different sources are described, as well as their structure and mechanism of catalysis. Possible applications of laccases in different fields of biotechnology are discussed.
